Percy Jackson Drawing Easy Novels & Stories

he said sincerely. "You've captured something I've been trying to paint for days—the way everything connects, how we're all part of the same picture." The other children crowded around, eager to show their work. One young god had drawn a picture of the new school with walls made of rainbows and roofs made of clouds. A mortal boy had sketched the moment when Zeus had apologized to the villagers, his drawing full of emotion despite its simple lines. Another girl had created a map of the world where all borders were drawn as rivers of music connecting one land to another.

Knowing Elijah, he was probably somewhere buying time, waiting to strike again when we least expected. “Daddy, look!” Jackson’s voice broke through my thoughts. He held up a crooked drawing of what looked like a wolf—or maybe a dog. His little hands were smudged with crayon, his face beaming with pride. I forced a smile, ruffling his hair. “That’s amazing, buddy. Is that me?”

She was somewhere around seven or eight, completely absorbed in whatever she was drawing, her tongue pressed to the corner of her mouth in concentration. I lowered myself carefully into a chair near her, mindful of my ribs, and looked at the paper. The drawing was full. Not in a crowded way, in a deliberate way, like she had a clear picture in her head and was working her way across the page with intention. There was a dragon in the top left, red and blocky with impressive teeth. Below it, a woman in a red cape with a pointed hat on a flying broom, carefully coloured with a orange crayon. To the right of that, something with fangs and a dark cape that I was fairly certain was meant to be a v

From the drawing, it's lunch break and students are milling about around me but I'm standing there, looking stuck and feeling exhausted from the healing process. My eyes are a muddy brown but my lips are stretched out in a wide smile. My shoulders are slumped but my nostrils are flared like I'm angry and my fists are clenched so tightly, it's like I'm trying not to go wild. Like I'm trying to rein in my demons. And I don't even remember this. “These drawings are incredible, Jeremy.” “I should know, I made them and they're called outlines.” I slap his chest playfully, “Show a little gratitude.”

Ava followed his gaze. Her heart dropped. Something lay on the center of Jace’s bed. Not an object this time. A page. A single sheet of lined notebook paper, ripped unevenly, edges curled. Jace moved toward it in slow, rigid steps, shoulders tight. Ava followed him, her breath growing heavy. He reached out and picked up the page with a trembling hand. Ava stepped close enough to read over his arm. The paper held: A charcoal drawing. A rough, frantic sketch.

Jade screamed angrily, tearing out and crumpling up a sheet of paper from her sketchbook. She threw it across the room and it landed on the floor close to the door, increasing the litter of crumpled paper and broken pencils in the room. She took a new pencil from behind her ears, her fingers shaky as she began to draw lines and curves, in readiness for another sketch. Closing her eyes, she tried to picture a face, Tiger's face - that was what they called him but she knew his name began with the letter H.

“So, you just have to pick a picture. Nothing too much. What do you want to draw?” I looked at the blank sheet for a while, “maybe a house?” She nodded, “okay then. Usually, I draw houses with a triangle above, a square below, two little boxes inside and a sideways rectangle for the door.” Okay, that was actually pretty smart. “That's one easy house.” I chuckled. “That's why I like it. It's easy. After that, you choose the colours you want. It doesn't have to be complicated.” “You do not talk like a seven year old, young lady.” I said to her and she giggled softly.

she says, very serious for someone whose ponytail is halfway to falling off. “Really?” I lean forward and catch the watercolor box before it drops. “Tell me all about it.” She sits up, shifting again: legs tucked under, one knee up, sketchbook on her lap. She flips to the middle. The page is full of doodles. There’s a drawing of a round table, four little stick figures with names floating over their heads: ME, CLARA, LEO, ANAÏS. In the middle of the table, a small box labeled in big letters: “CRAYON (NO EAT!)”

When he held up the notepad, it read: “Can we go to the beach?” Killian and I leaned in closer, our eyes fixed on the notepad as Ryker held it up. Beneath his simple request of *Can we go to the beach?*, he had sketched something in his careful, childlike strokes. The drawing showed three figures: one adult male, one adult female, and a small child between them, holding their hands. The sun shone brightly in the background, and the waves were drawn in soft, blue lines. For a moment, we both stared at the image, trying to decipher its meaning. Killian’s brow furrowed as he glanced from the notepad back to Ryker.

“Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Excellent book.” He sits down and begins reading. The first picture I draw is a portrait of uncle Owen’s sister with a wolf howling at the edge of a cliff at a full moon in the background. I make one for his father too. I plan to give them these at the funeral. I do similar ones of Michael to give to Carrie and one for Zuri but with a lion for the family.
